Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant are dynamite in this story of mistaken identity, murder, and stolen loot. A wonderful supporting cast includes James Coburn, George Kennedy and Walter Matthau. Things are not always what they seem, and the suspense builds right up to the surprise ending. The on-screen chemistry between Hepburn and Grant makes for a delightful romance, and the search for the murderer and stolen money is exciting and takes many unexpected twists and turns. This movie is an overlooked gem.

Terrific action sequences include a sprawling fight scene that ends on a hotel roof and a riveting climactic showdown. People agreed that the film’s real climax is the romantic final scene.

Right! Grant and Hapburn are best. But watch carefully on Walter Matthau's best performance. Anyway, the very best thing came up with the Great Duo--Mancini and Mercer.

Love left the mas - que - rade.

Best on the bill...Cha - rade.
